Note 366 — ACT IV.
Reading edition
Crispy is curling. So, in Shakespeare's "Henry IV.," act i. sc. 3—
"Three times they breath'd, and three times did they drink, Upon agreement, of swift Severn's flood; Who then, affrighted with their bloody looks, Ran fearfully among the trembling reeds, And hid his crisp head in the hollow bank, Blood-stained with these valiant combatants."
See Mr Steevens's note on this passage.
